Here is an update of the happenings at His Wheels International over the last two months.
October 19th Join me tomorrow from 3PM-4PM C.S.T. at www.wmbi.fm for a live interview on Chris Fabry Live. If you live in the Chicagoland area the interview can be heard at 90.1FM.
September 2, 2010: I met John Coumbe-Lilley, a professor in Kinesiology and Nutrition at University of Illinois Chicago’s (UIC), my alma mater. John offered to consult with HWI sharing his resources and expertise. Thus on September 22, 2010 five of us met to discuss HWI. Afterwards John compiled an extensive action plan, which includes increasing our social media presence, a speaking tour of all the Colleges and Universities in the USA, and having two trike racing teams in the 2011 Chicago Marathon. John brings a vast array of knowledge from his background as a successful businessman, his consulting work as sports psychologist with the 2010 USA Olympic Curling Team,, his work with athletes of all ages and his connections through his UIC faculty position. As a result of this meeting you can follow us on Facebook:His Wheels International, Twitter:HisWheels and at our blog: hiswheelsinternational.blogspot.com.
On September 21st we met with Jared, a sophomore business student at Wheaton College. Jared is part of an international business club called SIFE. Teams of Wheaton College SIFE students plan to help HWI as one of their SIFE competition projects.
On September 22nd Nancy Turner interviewed me on This Is The Day, a national radio program. You can hear the past program at www.wmbi.fm,.
On September 24th Wayne Shepherd did a pre-recorded interview with HWI for his new show First Person. The broadcast date has not been assigned yet.
September 27th At our board meeting we voted to narrow our bicycle focus to national bicycles thus eliminating being a grantor of money to continue buying bicycles internationally. Over the past five years we have distributed 139 bicycles in nine African countries. Nationally we have distributed over 1,200 bicycles to people affiliated with 83 countries. Narrowing our focus, will allow us to build upon our current program.
September 30th two trikes went to Sierra Leone with Women of Hope International.
October 8th Grant received approval from the Christian Formation and Ministry Department at Wheaton College’s Graduate School to complete his Master’s Internship with HWI. Grant will help us clarify the focus of the bicycle side of our ministry.
October 12th My nephew Ben and I spoke about HWI at Wheaton College in Evvy Campbell’s Principal’s of Development Graduate class.
Thanks for your part in help HWI to continue moving forward,
Alice Teisan
